It is sad news today. Our beloved foster cat Dexter crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Here is a picture of him with his favorite chewed up box and cardboard scratcher.

His asthma was getting very bad and the medicine was not doing as much to help him. He was on a higher dose and he continued to get worse. We had to take him to the emergency vet early one morning and less than a week later he had another very bad episode. It was harder and harder for him to breathe and it was difficult for him to get sleep or even relax. He was a great cat and we will always remember his joyful leaps at sunbeams and how he liked to play in the kitty tunnel.

We already miss him a whole lot. The shelter vet observed Dexter for a couple of days to assess him and monitor his respirations and he was just getting worse so he was humanely euthanized. Mom was there to be with him and pet him during the procedure.

It was very peaceful and he is no longer in pain or distress. Rest In Peace sweet handsome Dexter. Also known as Dexter the Drooler for drooling when he was happy and Dexter the Destroyer for his love of chewing cardboard.
